César Ritz

César Ritz (23 February 1850 – 24 October 1918) was a Swiss hotelier and founder of several hotels, most famously the Hôtel Ritz in Paris and The Ritz Hotel in London. His nickname was "king of hoteliers, and hotelier to kings," and it is from his name and that of his hotels that the term ritzy derives.

Early life

Ritz was born in the Swiss village of Niederwald, the youngest of 13 children in a poor peasant family. At the age of twelve he was sent as a boarder to the Jesuit college at Sion, and at fifteen, having shown only vaguely artistic leanings, was apprenticed as a sommelier at a hotel in Brig. While working there as an apprentice wine waiter he was dismissed by the patron of the hotel from his position, saying, "You'll never make anything of yourself in the hotel business. It takes a special knack, a special flair, and it's only right that I tell you the truth—you haven't got it." He returned briefly to the Jesuits as a sacristan, then left to seek his fortune in Paris at the time of the 1867 Universal Exhibition.

Reflexive Theory-of-Mind Reasoning in Games
Speaker: Prof. Jun Zhang, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Tuesday, December 02, 2014
Singleton Auditorium, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyAbstract: Theory-of-mind (ToM) is the modeling of mental states (such as belief, desire, knowledge, perception) through recursive (“I think you think I think …”) type reasoning in order to plan one’s action or anticipate others’ action. Such reasoning forms the core of strategic analysis in the game-theoretic setting. Traditional analysis of rational behavior in games of complete information is centered on the axiom of “common knowledge,” according to which all players know something to be true, know that all players know it to be true, know that all players know all players know it to be true, etc. Such axiom requires recursive modeling of players to the full depth, and seems to contradict human empirical behavior revealed by behavioral game literature. Here, I propose that such deviation from normative analysis may be due to players’ building predictive mental models of their co-players based on experience and context without necessarily assuming a priori full rationality and common knowledge, rather than due to any lapse in “instrumental rationality” whereby players (and co-players) translate the predictions from their mental models to optimal choice. I investigate this mental model account of theory-of-mind reasoning by constructing a series of two-player, sequential-move matrix games all terminating in a maximal of three steps. By carefully designing payoff matrices, the depth of recursive reasoning (i.e., first-order ToM versus second-order ToM) can be contrasted based on participants’ choice behavior in those games. Empirical findings support the idea that depth of ToM recursion (related to perspective-taking) and instrumental rationality (rational application of belief-desire to action) constitute separate processes.

Abstract:
Notoginseng [the roots of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen (Araliaceae)] is a well-known medicinal herb in traditional Chinese medicine and mostly cultivated in Yunnan province of China. Traditionally, notoginseng has been used in two forms, raw and processed ones. The former is mainly used for the treatment of injuries from falls, dissipating blood stasis, and cardiovascular disease, whereas the latter is used as a tonic. Notoginseng contains similar chemical constituents as Ginseng (Chinese Ginseng, Korean Ginseng or Asian Ginseng), and dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins are rich containing in this herb and recognized as the main bioactive ingredients. As one part of our systematic studies on Panax plants, the roots of Panax notoginseng were treated by different processing methods, including steaming and baking, along with the correlative dynamic curves of the transformation of saponins. It was also found, during the steaming process that the five main saponin constituents (ginsenosides Rg1, Rb1, Rd, and Re, and notoginsenoside R1) in raw notoginseng decreased gradually and some other new saponins were formed. Among these, eight newly converted major ginsenosides were identified as 20(S)-Rh1, 20(R)-Rh1, Rk3, Rh4, 20(S)-Rg3, 20(R)-Rg3, Rk1 and Rg5. In addition, more than 30 minor dammarane-type triterpenoids were identified. Some of them are new compounds with potential bioactivities.
